Hopipharm, the conference for hospital pharmacists

Hopipharm, the conference for French-speaking hospital
pharmacists, will be taking place from 14 to 16 May 2014 at La Rochelle
(France) – and we’ll be there!

A meeting of healthcare
professionals and companies

Hopipharm is
organised by the Synprefh, the National Association of Pharmacists in Public
Healthcare Establishments. As many as 1,400
participants (hospital pharmacists, healthcare professionals and industrial
partners) will be attending the conference to discuss scientific, technical and
professional topics.

Sofrigam will
be on Stand 2. Our staff will be there to show you insulated packaging solutions for transporting
heat-sensitive medicines. This is also a good opportunity to become
reacquainted with La Boutique du Froidfor the French market, ColdShop
for the UK market, our online shops for insulated packaging solutions intended
for healthcare professionals.

The three-day
conference will feature workshops,
discussion groups and round table debates. We will also have a chance to
share our experience during a symposium.

Symposium on Tuesday 14 May at 7:00
p.m.: What is the best way to protect the cold chain in a hospital environment?

Laetitia
Perche, Marketing Director at Sofrigam, will be hosting a symposium to discuss
with you the challenges of security for the cold chain and she will be offering
you some practical solutions.

Sofrigam is
well aware of the problems encountered by healthcare establishments. Our cold
chain experts have been studying the internal problems of in-house pharmacies
(IHP) for more than 4 years in a number of general hospitals in France. We have
been collaborating with Arras General Hospital, which experienced a break in the cold chain in its
establishment, resulting in huge financial losses. Any interruption of the cold
chain can have disastrous consequences for patients, leading to the
irrecoverable loss of healthcare products worth up to € 300,000.

It goes without saying that strict control of the cold
chain for medicines within healthcare establishments is a necessity in terms of
healthcare and cost control. Furthermore, the regulations are being strengthened in the light of the
development of temperature-sensitive medicines.

There
are solutions for controlling the cold chain in a straightforward, rapid and
effective manner, using very few resources. Regulations, market trends,
restrictions and risks encountered: we have all the answers for optimising the security of heat-sensitive
medicines in simple ways.
